THIS WEEKS EDITION of the Sunday Morning Short Game-News Column, is a look at several new products that are just now on the market by the Titleist Golf Company.

The Titleist TSi4 Driver

TITLIEST has created yet another new driver, with the addition of the new TSi4 low spin but with advanced speed and better distance.

Because of what this driver brings to the tee box, three Titleist staff players Adam Scott, Russell Henley and Richy Werenski have added this driver into their golf bag.

“The TSi4 fulfills the ultra-low spin product within our TSi lineup,” said Stephanie Luttrell, Director of Titleist Metalwood Development. “For those players that need aggressive spin reduction to improve their distance, we now have that product in the TSi lineup.”

The (CG) on this driver is the lowest in the TSi family. It comes with the new ATI 425 Aerospace Titanium face construction never before used in golf. So Titleist is touting this driver as the straightest-best looking, and best sounding Titleist driver ever made.

TSi4 is available in lofts of 8.0-9.0-10.0/LH 9.0. There are multiple shaft options, with a featured Golf Pride Grip. The TSi4 driver is now available with a MAP of $549.00.

The TSI1 metals line.

TSi1 Metals were created to build on the success of the Titleist TSi2 and TSi3 metals.

But TSi1 family metals are made for those golfers with moderate (less than 90 mph) swing speed.

Because this swing speed says Titliest represents 30% of all golfers.

The TSi1 metals are now available in pro shops and golf shops everywhere. So you want lightweight ? How about a driver that at 460cc is nearly 40g lighter than most standard drivers. But like the TSi drivers, the TSi1 metal driver comes with the new ATI 425 Aerospace Titanium Face.

Luttrell says,” this product takes Titleist speed to another level to another level for the moderate speed player. Golfers will enjoy greater consistency and maximizing their club speed.”

The TSi1 fairway metals are a true lightweight set-up-almost 50 grams lighter than standard fairway metals. So to make the club lighter, 10 grams of weight was taken out of the clubhead. TSi1 features an Aldila Ascent lightweight shaft 40g, and offers a lightweight Golf Pride grip.

So for more information on lofts and pricing (drivers $549.00 and fairway metals $299.00) see Titleist.com

TSi2 and TSi3 Hybrids

THE ADDITION of TSi Hybrids brings a new standard to the Hybrid game.

Because Titleist promotes hybrids as a scoring club, not a rescue club. But the new TSi hybrids are engineered for golfers, looking to change out long irons from their bag.

So the new TSi2 and TSi3 hybrids come with new looks and playing options.

Because Tsi2 is a forgiving ‘workhorse’ that provides a high launch and should be a favorite choice for players who like the look of a fairway metal. They offer a mid-launch with precise distance, and iron-like control.

The options on these two hybrid designs, built with input from the Titleist pro staff set them apart, while being able to adjust these clubs is something many golfers will appreciate.

The TSi2 and TSi3 hybrids are now available in golf shops worldwide at a MAP of $279.00. But see Titleist.com for more information on grips and shaft options.

VOKEY SM8 Wedges Blue Slate.

NOT TO BE left out of this run of Titleist products, are the Vokey SM8 wedges.

Ultra Premium-Slate Blue.

“A player has to love their wedge when they look down at it,” said master wedge designer Bob Vokey. Vokey wedges make up almost half of all wedges played on the PGA Tour. Vokey says that finishes might look great. But don’t often last long with consistent use. But Vokey says the new Slate Blue will last through normal course of play.

The other finishes available in Tour Chrome, Brushed Steel, Raw and Jet Black finishes. You can now purchase SM8 with Blue Slate as of March 19th. Cost is $199.00, True Temper Shafts Dynamic Shafts Gold S200, come with a variety of grip options. So you want more, yes custom stamping is available. For more information see Vokey.com or Titleist.com
